Fourth generation computer systems
Cloy J. Walter, Arline Bohl Walter, Marilyn Jean Bohl · 1968
This paper is presented as a discussion of fourth generation computer systems. To predict future developments in the computer industry is to speculate -- to theorize on the basis of observable trends and anticipated needs. Numerous questions arise. We do not know the answers to all questions nor do we know how to obtain all the answers. The intent of this paper is to suggest reasonable approaches to developments and to offer a solution to a fundamental EDP problem. How can computers and applications be integrated within a communication and control system?
